So Happy We Chose Brenden

From the fist moment that we met Brenden we knew that he was the right photographer for our wedding day. He was friendly, easy to get along with and listened to what we had to say as well. He immediately put us at ease. We had several meetings with Brenden before the wedding day to discuss the various ideas that we had and he was always took them on board or discussed other options with us. On the day he was amazing, and never intrusive. We had planned some pictures at the Stadium of Light and on the prom at Seaburn before the ceremony but the weather was not forecast to be great. Brenden suggested getting as many guest photos before the ceremony whilst the weather was bad; as it was forecast to get better we could outdoor photographs after the ceremony. The weather did improve and we got our outdoor photographs as planned. The photographs that he took were absolutely lovely. On the day so many of our guests commented on how friendly he was and how good he was. We are so very happy that we chose Brenden for our wedding day.

Fantastic!

I could not recommend Brenden enough. From the first meeting with him, he made us feel at ease and confident with him. He talked us through the whole process and packages to choose from. Shared his experiences with us and made suggestions. On the day of our wedding, he arrived promptly, nothing at all was an issue. He also helped to calm my nerves before I left and helped to support the bridal party. The photos Brenden captured are amazing. Yes we had the usual family photos but the majority of photos he took we didn't realise, so when we quickly after received our photos from him, we were amazed at how many parts of the day he had captured that we were unaware of. Our album is of the highest quality and everyone at the wedding commented on how lovely, approachable and professional he was throughout the day and evening. Absolutely fantastic, Thank you again Brenden.

Amazing work and an amazing person

Wow what can we say Brenden is amazing he is not only an amazing photographer but a lovely gentleman. Nothing was too much we had some issues with one of our children being in hospital for months, he told us that comes first don’t worry about me I can wait. He checked on them he sent us well wishes and was just fantastic. Now onto his photography he took the most amazing photos and not just a few 1000s and we were not forced into any showmanship as we didn’t want that and nothing was too much in terms of what we did want. He is exceptional at what he does and is excellent value for money. We would highly recommended him. Oh and not to mention how fantastic he was with all the kids and disabled guests who couldn’t stand for photos, walk far or had learning difficulties etc.
